Salmon Pasta Salad

The other day as I was grocery shopping I stumbled across an old favorite: canned salmon.

Mom used to make pasta salad out of canned salmon when we were kids and it was always simple and yummy. I've been looking for high protein food recently, and especially loving fish, since it's so good for a baby's brain. Salmon and I are becoming best friends.

So I picked up a couple cans, and here's my twist on Mom's basic recipe (my twist is the tomatoes & capers).

12 oz. bowtie pasta, cooked to al dente
2 cans of pink salmon
5-8 roma tomatoes, chunked
4-6 oz. jar of capers, drained

dressing:
2/3 c. mayo
1/4 c. lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
fresh cracked salt & pepper to taste

Mix it all up and serve!
